pansies

While the rain wash the fragile tulips away, it's time pansies start blooming. Similar to tulips, there are all kinds of different colors for pansies. These were taken at the Annual Gardens at MSU. I was having a 'writer's block' when trying to put together the short proposal that I want to give to my boss before starting the project. So decided to do my fave activity...photo shooting. Of course I'm not as professional as dad or Jase Lee but I just like to do it for fun.

As usual, Ping is fascinated with the blue colored ones. How many shades of blue can a species of flower have? Well, they may not be as diverse as bacteria but there's definitely enough to be amazed by nature's creation.

Some of the pics are not as good as I wanted it to be because there wasn't enough light. It was close to 8pm and it is still bright out but not enough to get good lighting to project the colors. The bushes at the side is blocking some of the light too.

There are also some blue tiny flowers known as Bluesylva. From far, it looks really pretty as it carpets the soil. Close by, it's just a regular 5-petals flower - one that we would commonly draw in Art class (which I used to hate so much, especially when we have to draw human or animals, and they have to be 2 periods!).

And the walk ended with a wonderful sunset...

Went back to lab all fresh to read and write again. :)
